‘JE DEJ, JE DONNE’ IS A RESTAURANT VOUCHER DONATION INITIATIVE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH Up COOP. IT IS AIMED AT ALL RESTAURANT VOUCHER HOLDERS (IN CARD OR PAPER FORM), WHETHER BUSINESSES OR INDIVIDUALS.
By donating your restaurant vouchers, you are helping us to fund our activities in the field. At Action contre la Faim, food sovereignty and security are at the heart of our concerns. For years now, Action contre la Faim’s programmes have included innovative activities such as agroecology, training in best agricultural practices, access to traditional seeds, development of market gardens, etc.
‘Je Dej, Je Donne’ is a simple initiative: all restaurant vouchers, whether on card or on paper, can be donated, whether they are UpCoop, Pluxee (previously Sodexo), Bimpli (previously Apetiz), Swile, Restoflash or Glady. As an Action contre la Faim partner for more than 15 years, UpCoop helps its customers and holders of its Up Déjeuner cheques or cards to take part in this act of solidarity.
Thanks to you, and despite the context of economic and social crisis, almost €670,000 was raised in 2023 to support our activity.
Action contre la Faim assigns 80% of ‘Je Dej, Je Donne’ donations to its priority needs and 20% to France Mission activities. This funding is crucial in order to ensure a fast, effective intervention in the event of an emergency, as was the case when conflict broke out in Ukraine. This money is also needed to maintain the France Mission launched in late 2019, which makes sure the most vulnerable populations have access to food and nutritional security, as well as to rights and services.

DONATE ALL YOUR 2023 AND 2024 RESTAURANT VOUCHERS TO OUR ASSOCIATION
Action contre la Faim accepts all restaurant vouchers – Chèque Déjeuner, Ticket Restaurant, Pluxee, Bimpli (Apetiz), Swile, Restoflash and Glady – and turns them into donations.
Each year, some 700 million euros in restaurant vouchers is not used by voucher holders.* If these vouchers were donated to Action contre la Faim, this amount would pay for more than 15 million children to be treated for malnutrition as part of the association’s Nutrition and Health programmes. Let’s put restaurant vouchers to good use with ‘Je Dej, Je Donne’!
How do I donate my restaurant vouchers?
Every donation made to our association is eligible for tax relief of 75% of the amount of the donation, up to a maximum of €1000. You can donate your restaurant vouchers regardless of their format (paper or card).
Donate your paper restaurant vouchers (valid or expired) to our association
Donating your paper restaurant vouchers (even ones from 2023) couldn’t be easier:
- Write ‘Action contre la Faim’ on each 2023 or 2024 voucher
- Fill in the online donation promise form and print the tax receipt sent automatically to your email address
- Send it all in an envelope without a stamp to: Action contre la Faim, Opération Je Dej, Je donne, Libre réponse 45105, 60509 Chantilly Cedex
Paper restaurant vouchers from the previous year expire on 1 February, like every year, but Action contre la Faim can still collect and use them to fund its activities until 31 March! Even those who donate vouchers they can no longer use benefit from tax relief of 75% of the amount of the vouchers!
Donating with your restaurant voucher card
Do you have a restaurant voucher card? You can also donate your restaurant vouchers securely with your card. Go to our website to find out more!
March is an essential month in the restaurant voucher collection process, regardless of the voucher format, because it is when the cap is raised and holders of restaurant vouchers can donate them without a limit on the amount, unlike the rest of the year, when the ceiling is €25 per day for cards.
ORGANISE A COLLECTION TO MOBILISE EMPLOYEES IN THE FIGHT AGAINST MALNUTRITION
Businesses are encouraged to get employees involved in this solidarity initiative, perhaps by establishing collection goals over a certain period. The business can even contribute to employees’ donations. This initiative strengthens the idea of everyone participating, both employees and businesses! Order your digital and/or paper kit now on the website Je Dej Je Donne!
